Definitions

  • This specification relates to a system for discovering and synchronizing nodes in a network.
  • a mesh network of nodes has a network topology in which each node relays data for the network.
  • Each node can transmit data as far as a neighboring node.
  • Data can be transmitted over long distances by splitting the transmission into a series of short hops between neighboring nodes.
  • one innovative aspect of the subject matter described in this specification can be embodied in methods that includes the actions of maintaining, by a cloud controller, data representing a topology of a network of nodes, wherein the data indicates a first group of nodes that are connected to the cloud controller and indicate, for each node in the network, one or more respective neighboring nodes for the node, and wherein each node communicates wirelessly with a neighboring node by forming a transmitting node and receiving node pair during a particular time interval, wherein the transmitting node of the pair communicates data to the receiving node of the pair during a particular time interval when the transmitting node is in a transmitting mode and the receiving node is in a receiving mode; receiving, at the cloud controller from the first group of nodes, one or more requests to connect to the network; selecting, by the cloud controller, a first node in the first group of nodes that sent the request; and generating, by the cloud controller, instructions configured to cause the first node to communicate a timestamp of the
  • the cloud controller 102 also communicates with a topology database 122.
  • the topology database 122 can include information about each node in the network representing a topology of the network of nodes.
  • the information for a particular node can include a number of radios in the node, a role of the node, e.g., hub, relay, or access point, nodes neighboring the node, and whether the node is added to, i.e., connected to, the network.
  • the topology database 122 also specifies an optimal path for any given node to communicate with any other given node in the network.
  • the optimal path can specify a series of intermediate nodes that relay data that minimizes latency.
  • Each node can synchronize its timestamp in response to connecting to the system. That is, the process of connecting a node to the network includes the node synchronizing its timestamp to other nodes in the network. This will be described further below with reference to FIG. 5 .

Claims (13)

  1. Verfahren, Folgendes umfassend:
    Pflegen von Daten, durch einen Cloud-Controller (102), die eine Topologie eines Knotennetzes (302) repräsentieren, worin die Daten eine erste Knotengruppe (106, 120) anzeigen, die an den Cloud-Controller angeschlossen sind und für jeden Knoten (108-118) im Netz einen oder mehrere jeweilige benachbarte Knoten für den Knoten anzeigen und worin jeder Knoten mit einem benachbarten Knoten drahtlos kommuniziert durch Formen eines Sende- und Empfangsknotenpaars während eines bestimmten Zeitintervalls, worin der Sendeknoten des Paars Daten an den Empfangsknoten des Paars kommuniziert, wenn der Sendeknoten in einem Sendemodus ist und der Empfangsknoten in einem Empfangsmodus ist;
    Empfangen, am Cloud-Controller, von der ersten Knotengruppe, einer oder mehrerer Aufforderungen zum Anschließen an das Netz (304);
    Auswählen, durch den Cloud-Controller, eines ersten Knotens in der ersten Knotengruppe, die die Anforderung (306) gesendet hat; und
    Erzeugen, durch den Cloud-Controller, von Anweisungen, dazu konfiguriert, den ersten Knoten zu veranlassen, einen Zeitstempel des ersten Knotens an jeden benachbarten Knoten des ersten Knotens (308) zu kommunizieren und jeden benachbarten Knoten zu veranlassen, den Zeitstempel des ersten Knotens an alle anderen benachbarten Knoten des benachbarten Knotens zu kommunizieren, worin Knoten ihre jeweiligen Zeitstempel nach dem Empfang des Zeitstempels des ersten Knotens synchronisieren, worin das Kommunizieren des Zeitstempels fortgesetzt wird, bis jeder Knoten im Netz mit dem Zeitstempel des ersten Knotens synchronisiert ist; und
    Senden der Anweisungen an den ersten Knoten, wodurch die Knoten im Netz mit dem Zeitstempel des ersten Knotens (310) synchronisiert werden zur Kommunikation zwischen den Knoten im Netz.
